Here's a poem my 10 year daughter wrote about her uncle(Timmy Reber), who became a homicide victim on Feb 10th 2012.
I am a tree,
I want to be free,
But I belong here,
I hope freedom is near.
I lay still,
But I am grateful I won't get ill,
Laying here.
100 years still looking,
If freedom is near.

About the Author
I am Brooke Ninni Matthews, a 40 year old housewife and a mother of two, whom I adopted from Foster Care. I live in Reading, Pennsylvania. I’ve lost my mother at the age of 57 to heart complications and diabetes, and 6 months to the day of my mother’s passing, I lost my only 31 year old younger brother to homicide. I have 5 sister's, a birth father, and a step dad remaining. I’ve found that writing and telling my story helps.
